Hutsul said that the prosecutor’s charges against her are politically motivated. The head of Gagauzia promised to return to Moldova, despite the criminal case.
Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor says that the Moldovan authorities are preparing to arrest Hutsul after her return from Sochi. The acting Prosecutor General of Moldova said that he intends to send to court a criminal case in which Gutsul appears. The prosecutor's office announced that it had collected enough evidence, and these statements were made against the backdrop of her meeting in Sochi with Putin.
